My wife had similar op 2years ago ( moto cycle accident)
She was taken to BHPattaya where the surgeon showed me the xray, I said to go ahead with op, before they would start I had to deposit 350k, the op completed plus the after care and when we went for final settlement there was a refund of 70k so not too over the top. Plus she has never had any problem with the shoulder since.

There is also the problem of farmers feeding pigs food laced with antibiotics which aids in the build up of resistance when the drug is prescribed. Plus on the one occasion I needed antibiotics I was given 1000mg tablets?? I halved them which worked fine.

We have a good Thai friend who is a professional drummer with one of the top hotels in Pattaya, my step son in UK is also semi pro drummer, been on tour with Adam Ant and a few other lesser bands, who loves coming here and would one day like to settle here. Our Thai friend has advised him that falang can get work permit through one of the big hotels, Hard Rock, etc. So may be worth your while making inquiries, if you are thinking of making a small living here.

You are of course correct, but the visa needs to be renewed in Aug, I mistakenly thought Sept, which will continue the extension of stay. There has been in excess of 300K in joint acc for long time which I top up with income from UK. I planed to move this balance to my name only to meet the two month requirement.
If I was to do this now I would be a few days short of the 2 month, therefore I wanted to extend the current visa by one month.
I seem to remember a post which stated that if you leave and return during the last month you would recieve the 30 day extension.
I am living in Thailand with my family so extension to visit wife really no applicable.

Sorry for hi-jacking the subject, but I have to renew non.O marriage in Aug but I thought was Sept and have not move 400K to suitable acc in time, question is can I some how extend existing non O for one month?

My son showed an early interest in music, the kindergarten had harmonium lessons which he took to, then I discovered a local tuition class which teaches piano, violin and singing. his transfer to the piano was easy to him and he is taught how to read music as well.
They are a great class with three different teachers, all very good. The owner tells me she has taught piano since she was 13, so lots of experience.
Don't expect him to be a concert pianist but as long as he is enjoying it then we will continue.
